1774.0. "by password with record" by HOO78C::DOOLAARD (Which way....) Wed Nov 06 1991 19:55

    I'm have a problem when recording data from an entity wich needs the by
    password or by user qualifier. (For example a SNMP host with a non
    default community name)
    
    Is it really not supported to supply the by password qualifier in the
    record directive? If not any way around the problem?.

This request cannot use the By Password
               Unsupported Qualifier Id = By Password

    Thanks for pointing to this problem.
    Historian and Exporter do not support "by user" and "by password".

            You are right. "There is no technical reason why the BY access
    control qualifier cannot be passed to the historian to be used for its
    polling operations."
    
            But after recorded data are written in the Historical Repository
    they are visible to every one who has an access to the directory of
    the domain specified in the Record command. Is this what you want?
    
            If I remember correctly a security issue was a reason why
    Historian and Exporter do not support By User and BY Password qualifiers.
    
            To be consistent not only Historian but also Past Time Information
    Manager has to support By User and BY Password qualifiers. And this
    requires a new structure of Historical Attribute Repository.

    I think it's a must to have By user and By Password access control for
    the historian.
    Take SNMP,the community name is almost never public so you can't record
    anything at this moment.

    I agree that in many (most?) cases the community name isn't "public"
    but in most cases I have seen, the device alows more than one
    community name and more than one member per comunity. Does the
    device you have not permit adding "public"?
